We now have proof that the 2019 T1XX full-size pickup program is entering the later stages of development. With running prototypes built, expect to see camouflaged next generation Silverado and Sierra running around the world on public roads in the very near future.
With that in mind we’re putting the word out to GM-Trucks.com members to keep your eyes open. No doubt, next generation mules are undergoing testing in the wild as you read this. They may already be on public roads.
If there are T1XX mules being driven on public roads we as a community can and will find them.
If you see what you think is a next generation General Motors product, take a picture/video and send it to us. We’ll pay you up to $100 per original photo and up to $200 per original video.
Here’s how we’re laying this bounty out:
  • No violations of employee contracts to obtain any media
  • Media must be exclusive and not published elsewhere
  • Media must be original and owned/taken by the submitter
  • We will remove metadata from and watermark/edit any photos/video we choose to use
  • We have the right to refuse to publish any photo/video received for any reason
  • Bounty award amount based on quality, exclusivity, and number of photos/videos accepted
  • Program expires at our discretion and / or upon first release of official vehicle photography
To submit a photo, photos, or video to be considered for a bounty reward
Email the photos or video to Zane [@] GM-Trucks.com along with your contact information.
Good luck and let the games begin!

Sorry. couldn't resist. I have never seen a test mule down south. Do they only test up north? I will keep an eye out for one.

GM does A LOT of testing in my area here, about 50 miles South of Pittsburgh, due to the mountains/hilly terrain we have, I see test vehicles all the time from both them, and Ford, they were here last year testing what I believe to be the new Cruze diesel and Z/28....got some pics of the Cruzes,but could never catch the Z/28's uncovered.

They should do their testing here in MA! Our roads are legendary. Dirt roads are smoother.

 

Maybe they'd build a more quality product after that ...

Does this not give an unfair advantage to our Detroit members?? :D

No these are tested in the mountains of Tennessee and out west (heat) also

The one time I have gone by Detroit, I drove by the Ford engineering center (around summer 2009) and what I believe was a mule GT500 was pulling out.

I'm sure I'll see some soon in Arizona, summer and winter testing abounds. I saw quite a few Titans in camo during the summer prior to release. And I saw a new Mustang with camo in Flagstaff a few weeks ago (altitude and cold testing). To name a few.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
